mentioned previously is from Fantasy Flight Games not Mongoose (with apologies to Greg K for me be anal).

I should have paid better attention while typing. I'll go correct that now.

...I like a lot of the options from the Trailblazer preview by Bad Axe Games. ...

Speaking of Trailblazer, does anyone know when the complete book is supposed to be released? I'm very interested in this also (the preview stuff looked good but I really want to see their take on combat mechanics).

If I was to start all over again I would just get the core, including all the WOTC MM's and all of the Tome of Horrors, get Libris Mortis, get Book of the Righteous, and use the Wilderlands as my setting. After that all I would buy is modules.

There are several city books I really like, such as CSIO, LCoB, Bard's Gate, City of Mithril, and Streets of Silver. So I would probably rebuy those too.

Fortunately I have kept everything. So for me it would be a matter of packing everything up that I don't really need and storing it at the top back end of my garage so I'm far less likely to pull it out and try to use it.

Another vote for the Wilderlands of High Fantasy Box Set. If I was starting from scratch, this would be the #1 product I'd want after the core books.

This is a great thread.

The moral for me: never throw out or sell your old gaming books. I still occasionally reference my 1e and 2e books, and there are lots of game systems (Paranoia, Call of Cthulhu) where I'd rather play the older editions.

Just prior to the GenCon release of Pathfinder.

What, specifically, are you looking for? I've covered a lot of combat stuff here at EnWorld and if I can't point you to it, I should be able to answer anyway.

The Hypertext d20 SRD (v3.5 d20 System Reference Document) :: d20srd.org (natch)

I'm curious... why does everyone always mention this site while Sovelior is never mentioned? I much prefer the latter's interface and it also has a nice spell and power search feature.

I can't (or won't, perhaps) speak for 'everyone', but I'll go ahead and assume it's because: a) d20srd.org is more widely known; or b) they simply prefer that one.

Me personally? It's option 'b'.

I'd guess name recognition (option a).
